CHARLES GRIFFIN, OF YPS'ILANTI MIGHEGLANQ STOVE.

Application filed May 24,.

This invention relates to improvements in stoves, and has particular reference to a heating stove of the coal burning type.

An object of the invention is to provide a stove of improved construction wherein the feeding of the fuel to the grate and the removal of ashes from the stove may be accomplished without the escape of dust from the stove. 1

The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following detailed description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the inventive idea. i

In the drawing- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stove constructed in accordance with the invention;

Figure is an enlarged vertical section through the stove;

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 2;

Figure 1 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 2; c

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a casing and cover therefor into whichthe fuel is deposited from the top of the stove; and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of an implement utilized for discharging the ashes from the stove.

Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the body of the stove, the bottom 11 of which is provided with su porting legs 12. The top 13 has the usual flue pipe connection 1 1 and the central portion of said top is preferably recessed, as indicated at 15, to fit within the upper end of the body 10. The top 13 in its depressed portion is provided with an opening 16 normally closed by means of the outer cover 17 having on its under side the tubular member 24, the purpose of which will be hereinafter explained. The cover 17 is attached to the top 13 by means of the lugs 18, 18 secured to the face of the cover and engaged with the top 13. Secured to the top by means not shown, and extending into the body 19 is the supporting member 19, provided with the lug 22 upon which the front of the cover 17 rests. T

WVithin the supporting member and supported thereby is a plate or cover 22, which carries on its underside, the casing 20 having an inclined bot-tom 21. The plate or cover 22 has on its upper face the tubular 1924, Serial no. 715,737:

bottom 21 the same is provided with a hinged'closure 25 which normally closes the open end of the casing, but which will open under the weight of the fuel deposited into the casing to permit said fuel to fall upon the inclined surface 26 formed in the body I 10 of the stove. This inclined surface 26 will deflect the fuel being deposited in the stove into the upper hopper 27, the lower end of which is arranged directly over a grate28. To support the grate 28 in position an upper ring 29 is secured to the body of the stove above the lower end of the hopper 27 and has depending therefrom a plurality of supporting arms 30, the lower ends of which carry a smaller ring 31 in which the grate 28 is seated. This grate is formed with an outwardly extending arm 32 provioed with an opening adjacent its outer end for receiving the inner end of a shaking implement 33, the handle 34 of which is arranged exteriorly of the stove and the intermediate portion 35 of the implement having a rocking bearing in the body of the stove. By means of this implement it is possible to shake the grate without opening the stove.

Arranged beneath the grate 28 is a lower hopper 36 forming an ash pit, the lower end of which is provided with an extension 37 to which may be connected an outlet pipe 38. This pipe 38 may be extended through the floor of a room and connected at its lower end to an ash can 39, as shown in Figure 1. The lower portion of the hopper 36 is provided at the rear thereof with an upwardly inclinedextension 40, the upper end of which projects through the rear ofthe body 10 and has mounted therein a closure 41 which may be removed to permit of the insertion of an implement 42 having a rake head 18. utilized to force the ashes which have fallen into the lower portion of the hopper 36 outwardly into the pipe 38.

What is claimed is:

1. In a stove of the character described, a body having a hopper constituting an ash pit and having an extension with which a discharge pipe is adapted to be secured, a member mounted in said body above the This implement may be hopper and having depending arms extending into the said hopper and having a grate supporting ring at their ends, and a grate mounted for oscillatory movement in said supporting ring.

2. In a stove of the character described,

a body having a hopper constituting an ash pit, the end of said hopper having an outlet extension at the front and a second extension at the rear and projecting upwardly 10 through the body of the stove to permit of the insertion of an implement into the latter to discharge the ashes from the first named extension, a closure for the second extension, and a grate suspended in said hopper.
